  2. Windows 10 task view assign applications

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    As per the description, I understand that you are facing difficulty in assigning the applications to a specific virtual desktop. Let me help you in clearing your doubts.

    The virtual desktops feature in Windows 10 is called “Task View” and is located on the Taskbar.

    I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Click Task view. When you open the Task View interface for the first time, or you only have one desktop, the “Add a desktop” button is available.

    Step 2: Click it to add virtual desktop.

    Step 3: Open the apps that you want to use on that desktop.

    Step 4: Click Task view again to switch between desktops.

    Hope the information helps. Please keep us posted on Windows related query and we will be happy to assist you further.

    How to assign a specific Playback Device to an application?

    Original title: Sound Devices

    Anyone know how to assign a specific Playback Device to an application?

    I have a TV Tuner plugged in and working.

    I have my flatscreen tv installed and I want to use the sound device assigned to the flat screen speakers when I use the TV Tuner. But I don't want to use it as my default.

    So basically, while using the TV tuner it should use the TV speakers. But I want to use the sound card in the PC for OS sounds/Internet Explorer, Edge, and even games.

    Is it possible in Win10 to assign specific playback devices to an application?
